A lidding film with a density <1 g/cm³
Why do we love this story?
At the moment, the recycling landscape in Europe is still very heterogenous. Vergeer is a great customer of ours from the Netherlands that we really enjoy working with.
In this project we have tried several solutions for the reclose packaging of their cheese slices until we found this lidding film that allowed for them to keep their existing bottom web and still follow the guidelines of one of their major customers. Finding this special polyolefin film with a density below 1 g/cm³ challenged us. And that’s what we love. It made us improve and go new ways.
Besides that our Marketing team, who was allowed to make the movie on this wonderful story, was amazed by the new site and the lovely team in Bodegraven 😉
